Honestly if they've solved all of their problems in the future, this version of it anyways then there's very few reasons to refuse unless you decide to do so for religious purposes or personal ones. I'd take the offer to go to a future like that. May as well, you get to see all of the cool stuff that got made in your absence and get to play around in a whole new type of playground.

In a post scarcity society, you can manufacture warships by the millons, but how do you fill them with crew? This is how you fill them with an eaysily educated crew. Any WWII veteran and after easily can learn to use a more modern warship, in a young fresh body, with a brand new brain. And if they die again in their new fancy spaceship, you don't even have to educate them again, they even got some XP, how NOT to die next time.
Crazily any anatomically modern human could learn how, and with all people from all of human history you could select only the smartest ones, so they would learn fast. Realistically, if you have this sort of tech, you should be able to train a recruit in about two months. We have this idea that we are somehow vastly different or smarter than people from a long time ago. But it's just not true. Sure, lived experience has changed drastically (Most of you will never know what it's like to have half your siblings buried behind the house before they turned ten.) but humor, drives, and pain are pretty universal across all of human history. And tech, well how long did it take you to figure out how to drive? It will probably take a similar amount of time for people from all of recorded history.
@@skipmageyou're forgetting one key thing "Any sufficiently advanced technology, is indistinguishable from magic." people from the middle ages might very well be able to learn this stuff, but will they actually do so?
There are two types of Post Scarcity. You have post scarcity that can provide the resources for an entire species to live and prosper and you have the post scarcity that can do the above, whilst simultaneously providing all of the resources for the voracious, unending, ceaseless maw, of the Military-Industrial complex.
@@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 Do you know how to make a mobile phone? Can you learn how to push a button? Yeah. This is in fact the essence of your argument. You are arguing that a person from our time could not use a teleport mass transit system because they don't understand how it works. Despite the fact that it works by walking into it. People from the middle ages, given the opportunity to learn the secrets of the universe would largely jump at the chance, because they already did. They attempted in all earnestness to understand, and control their world in the available tech of the time.
@@skipmagealso worth considering the societal expectations and ideas they’d bring with them. It’s very easy to forget that people from the Middle Ages or even earlier often reacted to the unknown and such technologies with fear and hostility.

They are counting years in Human calendar. So they are definetly humans. 27th century, as the man (or a woman) stated, 600 hundred years from a date modern to MC

Hey not only religious people I'd also pick No. Simply because it's too good to be true and I'm being given very little time, who knows if everything's a lie and I'm just going to be a convenient conscientious slave
Thanks, but no. Something about this Scenario doesnt add up. The last Question wasnt answered - why? If Humanity didnt obliterated itself for another 600 years and have established a World without Ressource Problems, the population will be alot larger than it is now, especially with planetary colonisation. Why preparing Clone-Bodies and bringing dead People back to life? Would it be only to clear white spots in History, by transfering someone who has the needed Knowlege, i would understand. But this sounds more like "we snatch as many Souls as we can, away from Death`s Scythe". Yes i read all the good Stuff, but i dont understand their Motivation. Death is part of the Life-cycle. Hopefully it comes late in Life, but at some point, the Reaper comes to collect.
The universe is vast. There is no scarcity. and you can have the knowlege of the past transfered to the now. With their experience in life. I could understand this.
@@TheSegert correct, the universe is vast... means there alot of nothingness between asteroids and planets. A new Moon or Planet not necessarily means that you find what you looked for. What knowledge of the past (our present) would still have any use in 600 years, where interplanetary travel is normal? Ask yourself. What piece of knowledge could YOU bring to that future, that they dont already know? We had such much progress in the last 30 Years, that it invalidated big chunks of the collected informations of several centuries that came before that. You know what happened roughly 600years ago? Had to look for something kinda important so that people get an idea of the timespan. In 1431, the Inquisition killed Jeanne d´arc, after they found out that a Women lead French Armies and basically called her a Witch. Thats the timeframe we`re talking about. 600 years ago, bloody Battles were a daily occurence... for the most stupid Reasons and women could be burned at the stake for whatever fantasized reason came to your mind. I can guarantee you, that nothing that we know today, has any significancy in 600 years, unless you have some extremely high specialized knowledge that is useful for an advanced species. We dont even know if our current understanding of basic physics, chemistry, biology,... is still valid in 600 years. Maybe they find a calculation-error in 50 years that lets your whole concept of the universe collapse.

That future sounds all well and good, except it sounds like people are left to live half-lives without a greater goal or even a sense of accomplishment.
